Vitamin D3, the most common isoform of vitamin D, is only available in food derived from animal sources. However, mushrooms and yeast are rich in ergosterol. This compound can be converted into vitamin D2 by UV-light, and therefore act as a precursor for vitamin D. Vitamin D2 from UV-irradiated mushrooms has become an alternative source of vitamin D, especially for persons pursuing a vegan diet. UV-irradiated baker\u2019s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for the production of fortified yeast-leavened bread and baked goods was approved as a Novel Food Ingredient in the European Union, according to Regulation (EC) No. 258\/97. The Scientific Opinion provided by the European Food Safety Authority Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition, and Allergies has assessed this Novel Food Ingredient as safe under the intended nutritional use. However, recent findings on the formation of side products during UV-irradiation, e.g., the photoproducts tachysterol and lumisterol which are compounds with no adequate risk assessment performed, have only been marginally considered for this EFSA opinion. Furthermore, proceedings in analytics can provide additional insights, which might open up new perspectives, also regarding the bioavailability and potential health benefits of vitamin D-fortified mushrooms and yeast. Therefore, this review is intended to give an overview on the current status of UV irradiation in mushrooms and yeast in general and provide a detailed assessment on the potential health effects of UV-irradiated baker\u2019s yeast.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods10123142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,19]],"date-time":"2021-12-19T20:37:27Z","timestamp":1639946247000},"page":"3142","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Safety Assessment of Vitamin D and Its Photo-Isomers in UV-Irradiated Baker\u2019s Yeast"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Tobias","family":"Sch\u00fcmmer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Course for Toxicology and Environmental Toxicology, Institute for Legal Medicine, University of Leipzig, Johannisallee 28, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8073-524X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele I.","family":"Stangl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences, Martin-Luther-Universit\u00e4t Halle-Wittenberg, Von-Danckelmann-Platz 2, 06120 Halle\/Saale, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0955-386X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wim","family":"W\u00e4tjen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Course for Toxicology and Environmental Toxicology, Institute for Legal Medicine, University of Leipzig, Johannisallee 28, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences, Martin-Luther-Universit\u00e4t Halle-Wittenberg, Weinbergweg 22, 06120 Halle\/Saale, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Galior, K., Grebe, S., and Singh, R.
